Herbicide

ABSTRACT

New and valuable herbicide comprising a composition of 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-(alkoxy, allyloxy or propargyloxy) benzofuran-5-yl-methyl or dimethylamino sulfonate and 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6).

It is known that benzofuranylalkylamino sulfonates, pyridazones, carbamates, thiol carbamates, substituted fatty acids, uracils, pyrazolium sulfates and ethyl-N-benzoyl-N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-aminopropionate have a herbicidal action. However, this action is not always satisfactory.

I have now found that a composition of

A. a compound of the formula ##SPC1##

Where R, R¹ and R² each denote hydrogen or an unsubstituted or alkoxy- or halogen-substituted aliphatic radical of a maximum of 4 carbon atoms, and

B. a compound of the formula ##SPC2##

Where X denotes amino, α-hydroxy-β,β,β-trichloroethylamino, acetylamino, haloacetylamino, acetoacetylamino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkoxyalkylamino, ester of adipamic acid, aminotartronic acid diethylester (CH₃)₂ N- CH= N, alkoxy, or --NH--CD--COOR,

R denoting lower alkyl, phenyl or hydrogen, or a salt thereof, Y denotes chloro, bromo or methoxy and Z denotes hydrogen, halogen, methyl or trifluoromethyl, or

C. a compound of the formula ##STR1## where R¹ denotes hydrogen or lower alkyl, R² denotes lower alkyl, unsubstituted or halogen-, methyl- or methoxy-substituted phenyl, aminobenzenesulfonyl, nitrobenzenesulfonyl, or a monocycloaliphatic, bicycloaliphatic or tricycloaliphatic radical, R denotes unsubstituted or halogen-substituted lower alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl, unsubstituted or halogen- or alkyl-substituted phenyl or benzyl, the radical ##STR2## or ##SPC3## Y denoting methyl or hydrogen and R³ denoting lower alkyl, and X denotes oxygen or sulfur, or

D. a compound of the formula ##STR3## where X denotes hydrogen or halogen, R denotes alkyl, haloalkyl, benzamidooxy, unsubstituted benzyl, or benzyl substituted by halogen, methyl, methoxy or haloalkyl, and R¹ denotes unsubstituted or halogen-substituted alkyl or benzyl, or hydrogen, or a salt thereof, or

E. a compound of the formula ##SPC4##

Where R denotes hydrogen, α,α-dimethyl-β-acetoxypropionyl or acetyl, or

F. the compound ##SPC5##

Or

G. a compound of the formula ##SPC6##

Where R denotes alkoxy, unsubstituted phenyl, or phenyl substituted by halogen or lower alkyl, has a better herbicidal action than its components.

Preferred compositions are a+b, a+c, a+d, a+e, a+f, a+g, a+b+c, a+b+d, a+b+e, a+b+f, a+b+g, a+c+d, a+c+e, a+c+f, a+c+g, a+d+e, a+d+f, a+d+g, a+e+f, a+e+g and a+f+g.

The compositions may contain one or more compounds of the formula a and of the formulas b, c, d, e, f, and g.

The ratio of the active ingredients to each other may be selected at will, and is for instance from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a : 1 part by weight of b to g, preferably 0.3 to 3 parts by weight of a : 1 part by weight of b to g.

The amount used of the agents according to the invention may vary and depends in essence on the type of effect to be achieved; it is generally from 0.1 to 30 (and more), preferably from 0.2 to 6, kg per hectare of active ingredient. The agents according to the invention may be used once or several times before or after planting, before sowing, and before, during or after emergence of the crop plants and unwanted plants.

The compositions may also be used as total herbicides on ditches, aquatic areas, railroad tracks, and barren or waste land, etc.

Application may be effected for instance in the form of directly sprayable solutions, powders, suspensions, dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusts, broadcasting agents, or granules by spraying, atomizing, dusting, broadcasting or watering. The forms of application depend entirely on the purpose for which the agents are being used; in any case they should ensure a fine distribution of the active ingredient.

For the preparation of solutions, emulsions, pastes and oil dispersions to be sprayed direct, mineral oil fractions of medium to high boiling point, such as kerosene or diesel oil, further coal-tar oils, etc. and oils of vegetable or animal origin, aliphatic, cyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, paraffin, tetrahydronaphthalene, alkylated naphthalenes and their derivatives such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexanol, cyclohexanone, chlorobenzene, isophorone, etc., and strongly polar solvents such as dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, water, etc. are suitable.

Aqueous formulations may be prepared from emulsion concentrates, pastes, oil dispersions or wettable powders by adding water. To prepare emulsions, pastes and oil dispersions the ingredients as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent may be homogenized in water by means of wetting or dispersing agents, adherents or emulsifiers. Concentrates which are suitable for dilution with water may be prepared from active ingredient, wetting agent, adherent, emulsifying or dispersing agent and possibly solvent or oil.

Examples of surfactants are: alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts of ligninsulfonic acid, naphthalenesulfonic acids, phenolsulfonic acids, alkylaryl sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, and alkyl sulfonates, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, lauryl ether sulfate, fatty alcohol sulfates, alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of fatty acids, salts of sulfated hexadecanols, heptadecanols, and octadecanols, salts of sulfated fatty alcohol glycol ether, condensation products of sulfonated naphthalene and naphthalene derivatives with formaldehyde, condensation products of naphthalene or naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde, polyoxyethylene octylphenol ethers, ethoxylated isooctylphenol, ethoxylated octylphenol and ethoxylated nonylphenol, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers, tributylphenyl polyglycol ethers, alkylaryl polyether alcohols, isotridecyl alcohol, fatty alcohol ethylene oxide condensates, ethoxylated castor oil, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, ethoxylated polyoxypropylene, lauryl alcohol polyglycol ether acetal, sorbitol esters, lignin, sulfite waste liquors and methyl cellulose.

Powders, dusts and broadcasting agents may be prepared by mixing or grinding the active ingredients with a solid carrier.

Granules, e.g., coated, impregnated or homogeneous granules, may be prepared by bonding the active ingredients to solid carriers. Examples of solid carriers are mineral earths such as silica gel, silicic acid, silica gels, silicates, talc, kaolin, Attaclay, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, diatomaceous earth, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, ground plastics, fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, and ureas, and vegetable products such as grain flours, bark meal, wood meal, and nutshell meal, cellulosic powders, etc.

The formulations contain from 0.1 to 95, and preferably 0.5 to 90, % by weight of active ingredient.

There may be added to the compositions or individual active ingredient (if desired, immediately before use (tankmix)) oils of various types, herbicides, fungicides, nematocides, insecticides, bactericides, trace elements, fertilizers, antifoams (e.g., silicones), growth regulators, antidotes and other herbicidally effective compound such as

The last-mentioned herbicidal compounds may also be applied before or after the active ingredients or compositions thereof according to the invention.

These agents may be added to the herbicides according to the invention in a ratio by weight of from 1:10 to 10:1. The same applies to oils, fungicides, nematocides, insecticides, bactericides, antidotes and growth regulators.

The new compositions have a strong herbicidal action and may therefore be used as weedkillers or for controlling the growth of unwanted plants. Whether the new active ingredients are used as total or selective agents depends in essence on the amount of ingredient used per unit area.

By weeds and unwanted plant growth are meant all monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants which grow in loci where they are not desired.

EXAMPLE 1

In the greenhouse, loamy sandy soil was filled into pots and sown with various seeds. The soil prepared in this manner was then treated with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as emulsions or dispersions:

I. 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-ethoxybenzofuran-5-ylmethylamino sulfonate

II. 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-ethoxybenzofuran-5-yldimethylamino sulfonate

III. 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

V. ethyl N-ethyl-N-cyclohexylthiol carbamate

VI. 3-cyclohexyl-5,6-trimethylene uracil

XII. 2,3-dichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiol carbamate

XIII. 2,3,3-trichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiol carbamate

XIV. 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-methoxybenzofuran-5-yldimethylamino sulfonate

XV. 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-methoxybenzofuran-5-ylmethylamino sulfonate

I, ii, vi, xiv and XV each at rates of 0.5, 0.75, 1 and 2 kg/ha and III, V, XII and XIII each at rates of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 kg/ha

I+iii+v, i+iii+vi, i+iii+vii, i+iii+viii, ii+iii+v, ii+iii+vi, ii+iii+vii, ii+iii+viii, xiv+iii+v, xiv+iii+vi, xiv+iii+vii, xiv+iii+viii, xv+iii+v, xv+iii+vi, xv+iii+vii and XV+III+VIII each at rates of 0.5+0.5+1, 0.5+1+0.5 and 1+0.5+0.5 kg/ha I+III, II+III, I+V and II+V each at rates of 0.5+1.5, 1.5+0.5 and 1+1 kg/ha I+VI and II+VI each at rates of 0.5+1, 1+0.5 and 0.75+0.75 kg/ha XIV+III, XV+III, XIV+V and XV+V each at rates of 0.5+1.5, 1.5+0.5 and 1+1 kg/ha XIV+VI and XV+VI each at rates of 0.5+1, 1+0.5 and 0.75+0.75 kg/ha I+XII, I+XIII, II+XII II+XIII, XIV+XII, XIV+XIII, XV+XII and XV+XIII each at rates of 0.5+1.5, 1.5+0.5 and 1+1 kg/ha.

EXAMPLE 6

In the greenhouse, loamy sandy soil was filled into pots and sown with various seeds. The soil prepared in this manner ws then treated with the following amounts of the following individual active ingredients and compositions thereof as emulsions or dispersions:

III. 1-phenyl-4-amino-5-chloropyridazone-(6)

V. ethyl N-ethyl-N-cyclogexylthiol carbamate

VI. 3-cyclohexyl-5,6-trimethylene uracil

XII. 2,3-dichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiol carbamate

XIII. 2,3,3-trichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiol carbamate

XVI. 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-propoxybenzofuran-5-yldimethylamino sulfonate

XVII. 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-isopropoxybenzofuran-5-yldimethylamino sulfonate

XVIII. 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-allyloxybenzofuran-5-ylmethylamino sulfonate

XIX. 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-propargyloxybenzofuran-5-ylmethylamino sulfonate

XX. 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-allyloxybenzofuran-5-yldimethylamino sulfonate

Iii, v, xii and XIII each at rates of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 kg/ha VI, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX and XX each at rates of 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5 and 2 kg/ha

Iii+xvi, iii+xvii, iii+xviii, iii+xix, iii+xx, xvi+v, xvii+xii, xviii+xii, xix+xiii and XX+XIII

each at rates of 0.5+1.5, 1.5+0.5 and 1+1 kg/ha III+XVII+XII, III+XVI+V, III+XVIII+XIII, III+XIX+VI, III+XX+XII, XVI+XII+VI, XVII+XIII+V, XVIII+VI+V and XX+XII+V each at rates of 0.5+0.5+1, 1+0.5+0.5 and 0.5+1+0.5 kg/ha VI+XVI+XVII, VI+XVIII VI+XIX and VI+XX each at rates of 0.5+1, 1+0.5 and 0.75+0.75 kg/ha.

After 3 to 4 weeks it was ascertained that the compositions had a better herbicidal action than their components, combined with the same crop plant compatibility.
